Milo was banned for repeated rule violations and getting a troll army to harass Leslie Jones. Stop trying to revise history.
- Karunamon 9y agoMilo was banned for completely innocuous tweets, and a look at the tweets in question confirms as much.
- Chris2048 9y ago> getting a troll army to harass Leslie Jones How did Twitter verify this?
- odonnellryan 9y agoTwitter has access to a lot more than you guys do, that's for sure. Like his dms, his followers, and all that. Second, his account was suspended many times. Repeatedly. Eventually they banned him.
- Chris2048 9y ago> Twitter has access to a lot more than you guys do, that's for sure Then why not reveal this?
- odonnellryan 9y agoEasy: they don't benefit at all from it. I'm not a lawyer, but I can easily see how it's not a good idea to talk bad about someone who used your platform. There's nothing to gain, and a lot to lose by doing so. It's kinda lose-lose for Twitter, but few people seriously care about Milo getting banned.
- Chris2048 9y agoMilo has explicitly stated he didn't incite harassment, so the benefit would be demonstrating that the ban was not politically-based. > it's not a good idea to talk bad talking bad vs providing evidence of intent to incite harassment. > but few people seriously care about Milo getting banned Hmm, perhaps in your own bubble
- odonnellryan 9y agoWhy do you care so much what Twitter does?
- Chris2048 9y agoAd Hom. Do 'people' care, or don't they? That was your statement.
- odonnellryan 9y agoI'm not really debating you since there isn't much to debate. I'm just curious why you care so much about what a private company allows on their platform.
- Chris2048 9y agoI'm not really engaging with your curiosity, either.
- odonnellryan 9y agook.
- openasocket 9y agoYou want them to reveal Milo's private DMs with other people? I think they absolutely shouldn't: Milo still has a right to privacy. I get that it makes things inconvenient for us onlookers because we can't independently verify these things to determine if Twitter is overreaching, but the alternative is exposing private information about Milo to the world. If Milo were to say "go ahead and release everything you have on me, I've got nothing to hide" that would be different.
- Chris2048 9y agoJust state that he personally organised the harassment.
- odonnellryan 9y agoThey have absolutely nothing to gain from slandering the guy.
- Chris2048 9y agoBy slander, you mean make false comments?
- nailer 9y agoCan you please post a single tweet where Milo incited people to harass Leslie Jones? If, instead, you believe mocking and criticizing someone is inciting people to harass, do you think all popular accounts that mock and criticize others should be removed from twitter"?
- warlox 9y agoAll the tweets are deleted now so obviously I can't post any of them. Twitter does have access to Milo's DM history, however, and you can be banned for inciting harassment through direct message.
- nailer 9y agoSurely someone with hundreds of thousands of followers inciting harassment would be archived somewhere on the Internet. Why do you think it isn't? Any references for your DM theory?
